K. Stevens, state historian. M. Pauline Rugh of Saltsburg will have a part in the drama.

With a background plot of the Ephrata Cloisters, the play "Ephrata" may be one of the answers to the cut-and-dried approach to teaching American and local history, Stevens pointed out. If the experiment of using historical dramas as teaching aids proves that it can be effectively utilized, high schools and colleges throughout the state will be urged to stage similar dramas.

Neusbaum, associate professor of dramatics.
